Would I need to my old shooting mechanics to make this work?

Posted 04 August 2012 - 04:47 AM

Well I'm currently working on a game (in Java with Slick/LWJGL) where you play as a ship and shoot incoming enemies, I have finally gotten the shooting to work the way I want it to, and I realized that I need to be able to shoot more than one bullet at a time. I'm aware that I need to make some kind of Array list and use objects, but is there an easier way to do this without scrapping my old method completely?
